Do you feel that your time at your job is up? You feel like you don’t fit in anymore, though you know all and you feel good with them? You are no longer the one with the perfect job and “nice” bosses? You feel that you’re not YOU at work? Then I found you because in this article I will talk about you.

Once upon a time, there was a time when the prince / princess got out of the bed and ran to the job by riding a horse or walking in a carriage that was shared with others. No matter the transport type, you were floating toward your job. It was THAT call, you felled that you will get chocolates and applause.

In reality, after the fairy-tail period from the beginning now you only want to have someone who can carry you to your office with the bed. Do I have to remind you that all the faces of those you meet in the morning on the bus, subway or tram are sourer than a pickled cabbage? This is the way you feel too – messed up!

And you have that feeling of a lump in the throat, right? You feel that lump in your chest as if an unseen force put a ball of lead in you? Well, I think you suffer from “sick and tired of your job.” 🙂

Because you spend your whole day at work, you started to find your happiness among funny posts on Facebook or Instagram: puppies who will not eat cake, cats that jump on the head of their masters, traps purposely made for bosses (this is the kind of clips that go deep into your heart); you’re hunting all the mails with all sorts of pps and jokes (even better if the jokes are about bosses).

Not you only find happiness during the coffee break and you think that the coffee machine is like Nirvana. You didn’t smoke before, but when you saw in the cigarette a break from your work you started smoking so you don’t have to be permanently deepened in papers, offices, emails and other briefings. You struggle hard to do your job though you think that even the smallest job is hard to accomplish. You imagine things. You think everyone is like you, that they hate their job and in the evening when you break the doors with them you’re escaping a high-security prison. Until the next day when you start all over.

Going to the job just to live on weekends and holidays, it is not what characterizes us. Even if you have a job where you earn enough but you feel unhappy, sad, perplexed, lifeless, it’s not good. That is not your goal. You have to Stop it! Make a Change.

It bothers you when you meet your friends over the weekend and they tell a funny story from the work about how they get out of an embarrassing situation or been promoted because of their results. It seems that each has found its place, except you. You look at them, you look yourself, you’re getting out of your circle and watching from somewhere outside. Yes, you are that nasty person in your group that no longer supports others who’s not laughing anymore. Not even smile.

You begin to envy them a bit and you wonder: What they have, and I did not? What did I do wrong to deserve this? Are they better than me? I have dreams too, why don’t I have their luck? Why can’t I do anything good?

Of course, you always have the choice to find yourself another job. That kind of job that will complete you. I know that it’s hard to find that kind of job. Especially when you’re rushing and you feel like the time is not working at all to your advantage. But you need the money. So you make the deal! How bad can it be? During the interview, you promised that you’re the dream employee and that you’re a person more flexible than any gymnast and you can easily adapt to the new team and that teamwork is everything you ever dreamed. Now, after some time at your new job you can’t think that anymore, right? You begin to regret that you have chosen to do this and to go in that place every day. You still do not feel a fulfilled person, you don’t like what you are doing and feel out of your place.

What to do? Keep your horizons open. Very open! Don’t give up dreaming because your options are endless. Continue to look for what suits you better, even if you have a job. Think that this job came when you needed the money and you were lucky to have it “on time”. Search through social media sites, recruiting sites, go to interviews, “spread the word” among friends and acquaintances. If you are an employee this does not mean that you are not free to do whatever you want. You should do everything with moderation so because you don’t want everybody to know that you’re preparing your leaving.

I can only wish you good luck in finding your dream job! 🙂
